Aims
To allow students to prepare for their transition from classroom learning to operating in professional practice environments. This is includes exploration of how engineering fits in the wider construction industry and the various communication methods required to co-ordinate projects and comply with relevant contractual agreements.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Plan for personal, educational and career development.
2.
Evaluate the role of communication as part of a professional design team.
3.
Compare and contrast the differing nature of contractual relationships within building services engineering.
4.
Make use of computer applications within the context of building services/architectural design or post occupancy facilities management.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
How building services engineers must appreciate the various roles and priorities within a multi-discipline professional team including the intricacies of partner disciplines and coordination requirements. How the key aspects of contracts appear in different contractual arrangements. The value of building services/architectural engineering in energy efficiency and contributing to reduced life-cycle costs and carbon emissions. Software applications in design, simulation or facilities management. The benefits and various methods/tools used to convey information so that errors and ambiguities within projects may be avoided. Personal strategies for career development and maintenance of optimum skills and knowledge
